If you walk a distance of 8 blocks and then 3 blocks south from home, what is your position compared to home? What distance did

you walk?

Harman [31]3 years ago

The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

There are two different alleles for the number of fingers on the hands: 5 finger allele and 6 finger allele. When both the 5 fin
padilas [110]

Answer:

The 6 fingers allele is dominant

Explanation:

We are told that the the individual is genotypically heterozygous, that is the have both types of the finger allele: the 5 finger allele and the 6 fingers allele however phenotypically, 6 fingers are observed. From this we can conclude that the 6 fingers allele is the one that is dominant because it is the one that is expressed phenotypically.

An object, initially at rest, is subject to an acceleration of 34 m/s^2. How long will it take for that object to reach 3400m ?
Norma-Jean [14]
Vf^2 = Vi^2 + 2ad
a= 34 m/s^2
Vi = 0 m/s
d = 3400m

Vf = 480.83 m/s

a=v/t
t=v/a
t=480.83/34
t=14.142 s

Written:
zmey [24]

Answer:

0.833

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

Power = force × distance / time

Power = force × velocity

P = (850 kg) (9.8 m/s²) (1.00 m/s)

P = 8330 W

P = 8.33 kW

The efficiency of the motor is therefore:

e = 8.33 kW / 10.0 kW

e = 0.833

Tpy6a [65]
A joule is one Newton of force applied over a meter.
For every meter, the brakes put 240000N of force (N=Newtons).
For 40m, multiply the Newtons by 40.
240000N*40=9600000N
